Shocks come thick and fast in the high octane world of sitting comfortably in your chair at a virtual card table, dear Melted Felt readers. Today we bring you an exclusive so unbelievable, you'll wonder why they ever took the word 'gullible' out of the dictionary in the first place.

Yes - Prahlad 'Spirit Rock' Friedman, the talented high-stakes pro, has accidentially accused himself of multi-accounting... and then found himself shocked and bemused when his other-self started arguing back in the UB chat box.

As if accusing Tom Dwan, Patrik Antonious and Phil Galfond of all playing under the screen name 'TeddyKGB' was not enough, the accusuation of himself went further than just playing heads-up no limit holdem. We can exclusively reveal the imaginary news that Freidman accused his relection of stealing his razor during his morning shave, shouted at his left foot for trying to run off with one of his favorite sneakers and almost had a punch-up with his shadow who he accused of looking the wrong way at his girlfriend's ass.

According to sources close to Friedman, the problem was not so much playing against himself, it was the fact that he was not really sure which self he was playing against. To put it in more concrete terms, some selves would require an insta-call with those aces, while for other selves a clear fold is in order... well, have you ever tried to make a play based on game-flow when you are not even sure which other self you are playing?

Know exactly what you mean about those lungs... many a time I wake up after a big night out only to find the fuckers have snuck out through my nose and spent the whole fucking night sticking sharpened pencils into my eyes.
